This is another set of lyrics Rogue posted yesterday that I can't see copied into the new list . I am sure I know it but it's not coming . I've gone through American pie, whiter shade of pale and After the gold rush but it isn't any of those . What is it?

In the street a band was playing
And the crowd all danced
Didn't catch what they were saying
70s

FlouncingBabooshka · 14/07/2021 18:42

I’m finding it impossible to follow which ones have been identified but I haven’t spotted this

Give me more
Than one caress
Satisfy this
Hungriness
70s

Wild is the Wind - David Bowie (or Nina Simone)

Academic inspiration, you gave me none
But you were Michael the lover
The fighter that won

Maybe guessed on the previous thread? Geno by Dexy’s Midnight Runners

As I thought I'd explained, shiny (although maybe not very well) I posted a LOT on the last thread.

I was going through (approximately 8 pages!!!!) working out what had been guessed and what was still outstanding and it was nearly 12.30 am, so I had to stop as had work today.

I'll finish going through and put the rest up later, if that's ok
